Putin warns US, UK will be at war with Russia if Ukraine uses NATO long-range missiles

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that the NATO alliance would be "at war" with his country if Ukraine gets approval to use long-range missiles provided by the West to strike inside Russia.

Putin stated to a Russian reporter that Ukraine "is already striking with the help of drones and other means, but when it comes to using high-precision long-range Western-made weapons, it's a completely different story," adding that Ukraine would not have the technology to be able to do this without the help of the EU or the United States. "This would in a significant way change the very nature of the conflict … It would mean that NATO countries, The United States, European countries, are at war with Russia."

This comes a day after United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken indicated that President Joe Biden is expected to lift a ban on British Storm Shadow Missiles being used by Ukraine to fire into Russia with the help of US-made technology. The United States and the United Kingdom reportedly resumed conversations regarding the utilization of Storm Shadows following the shipment of new Iranian weaponry to Russia.
